2,3,4,5,6-Pentafluorobenzyl chloride (CAS: 1078-98-4) is a highly fluorinated aromatic building block with molecular formula C7H3ClF5. Produced via electrophilic chlorination of perfluorotoluene or direct chlorination under controlled conditions, it serves as a critical intermediate for synthesizing advanced pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals due to its enhanced metabolic stability.
